Hard Top for Blue Angel (Canados 70s)

[MapisM]

the 2 pillars in the cockpit, I believe these are 60mm diam, (not visible on the picture above) tobe checked by the crew onboard ;-)

100% correct!
I'll follow up on the rest of your email later, rushing out now to shop for food....

for the fixing, I could have made a custom SS bracket,
but prefer a component available from stock,

such as this:


but this model is available for a tube diam max 48mm, and it does not look very strong,


or this one is for 60mm, its alluminium , also available for bigger diameters


this could work, with two brackets for each pillar

Hi Bart, what cover material are you considering? A ”shade cloth” type, good sun protection but with perforated holes and let’s water through it, or a complete sunbrella/conventional canvas and water-proof.

...........take measurements for the mesch cloths.....

there’s the answer

first idea was sunbrella cloth, but after having seen the pics from the old Feadship, probably going for mesh, still tbc (or perhaps both options, ;-)
